## What it is
Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is an open source database observability, monitoring, and management platform for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, and Redis. It consists of a server (deployed via Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, or virtual appliance) and client agents, providing dashboards, query analytics, alerting, advisors, and backup/restore capabilities.

## Use cases
- monitor mysql postgres and mongodb performance from one dashboard
- analyze slow queries across database engines
- set up alerting for database incidents
- run automated security and performance checks on databases
- schedule and manage database backups with point-in-time recovery
- troubleshoot database performance degradation from cluster to query level

## When to choose
- you run multiple database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis/Valkey) and want unified monitoring
- you need an open source, self-hosted alternative to proprietary database monitoring
- you want query-level analytics plus alerting and advisors in one platform
- you need built-in backup and restore for MySQL and MongoDB

## When to avoid
- you only need generic host/server monitoring without database-specific insight
- you want a lightweight agent-only solution without a server component
- you cannot run Docker, Kubernetes, or a dedicated Linux server for the PMM server
- you need monitoring for databases outside the supported engines

## Facets
- artifact type: application
